• Prior to commissioning, the pump/pump unit must be checked for visible damage. Damage or
unexpected changes must be reported immediately to the plant operator.
3.19.2 Cleaning the pump
There may be residual mineral oil inside the pump deriving from the pump testing and the initial lubri-
cation of the bearing bushes. If these products are not acceptable for the pumped liquid, the pump
should be cleaned thoroughly. Proceed as described in section 3.21.2.8 Draining of fluid.

• Open the suction side valve to let the pumped liquid flow into the pump. Rotate the pump shaft
by hand in the proper sense of rotation during venting.
• Tighten the plugs Bb and Be when liquid starts flowing out of these connections.
When the TG MAG pump is brought into service for the first time or in case a new gasket for the top
cover was mounted, bolts that compress the gasket must be re-tighened again after 3 – 4 days. (for
tightening torques: refer to section 3.21.3.1 Nuts and bolts)
